Writing a book always seemed like a distant dream to me, but over time I learned that some things are more possible than we imagine; we just need to have courage. So I breathed, took courage and organised some stories I had written some time ago, wrote new ones, and started working. I compiled, polished, designed, and complemented with photos that I took throughout my life. And with the help of many people and some good sites… Here it is, available to the world!
I made a video to explain more about this whole process and share a little of what I learned with it! It is in Portuguese but with English subtitles.
My book
In my book, “Where do we learn to love?” you will find a collection of 11 poetic and fictional tales about self-love, love for others, love for life, and all the turbulence that can cause. It can make you overflow or empty you. It is available in Portuguese and English, and can be purchased on Amazon.
When you read it, please leave a review on Amazon if you can; I’ll be very grateful! (:
